This RFI/Sources Sought Notice supersedes the previously issued RFI/Sources Sought Notice for Space Exploration Network Operations Maintenance and Sustainment entitled, “NASA Goddard Space Flight Center - Space Exploration Network Service and Evolution (SENSE) Follow-On Decoupling, ” Notice ID 80GSFC24SENSE_DECOUP_RFI_SSN, which was accessible via SAM.gov at https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/a6a0972f620f4ee6bc1c2e8b794dac7f/view.
The Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program is responsible for and manages NASA-s communications and navigation capabilities to enable scientific discovery and space exploration. Currently these capabilities are provided through the Near Space Network (NSN) project managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the Deep Space Network (DSN) project managed by the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL). SCaN is evolving its management and operational structure to form an integrated network operations team. Together as a cohesive team, the Program Office and the NSN and DSN projects will provide reliable, efficient, and innovative communication and navigation network services that connect the mission operations team to their spacecraft, a vital link that enables mission success. Missions supported include NASA human spaceflight and scientific programs, non-NASA Government agencies, commercial companies, and international partner missions. The SCaN network will continue to evolve from Government owned commercial operated assets to commercial services in the Earth, lunar, and Mars domains as NASA owned infrastructure is sunset. SCaN is seeking contract support to provide operations, maintain and sustain the current networks as they evolve, and integrate changes to continue the evolution to a more reliable, efficient, and innovative network.
As a single combined end-to-end network, the NSN provides communication and navigation services for missions in the near-space region (defined as zero to two million kilometers above the Earth-s...
